Engineering and Planning Services

Our company has a long history of providing engineering design services for private and public clients and project teams including major semiconductor manufacturers, the Carlsbad Desalination design build project team, the Irvine Ranch Water District, and the Metropolitan Water District, among many other public and private clients. We offer a broad range of engineering and planning services and are expanding our offerings as we continue to recruit experienced professionals that bring passion, integrity, and innovative approaches to meet our clients’ challenges.

Our engineering services are led by Chief Engineer Reymundo Trejo, PE, a licensed Civil Engineer, and our Manager of Engineering Hector Castaneda. Mr. Trejo has worked at mega firm AECOM, and brings exceptional public sector experience, serving as an executive manager and chief engineer, and having worked with numerous state, city, and municipal agencies. Mr. Castaneda has been at the company for more than twenty years, managing the design section and providing superior engineering design services to all our clients.

We believe it is important to understand our clients’ engineering needs. Having a team with extensive public sector experience allows for an in-depth understanding of the scope and quality of services, budget, and schedules as they pertain to our clients’ needs, allowing us to meet and exceed our clients’ expectations. With our exceptional leadership and public/private sector experience, together with more than 40 years of the SAFNA legacy, we are able to offer a variety of engineering support services.

Planning and Feasibility StudiesOur engineering professionals can support clients in strategic planning and feasibility studies. We believe that conducting a review of existing plans and studies may help determine if alternative solutions may become available. We can collaborate with clients and planning teams to bring a fresh perspective on agency strategic objectives, and provide recommendations.

Utility Research and DesignThe State of California is undergoing tremendous infrastructure renovation and expansion of facilities, utility infrastructure and transportation corridors. One of the most important tasks in selecting the pipeline alignments, modification of underground structures and preparing the design plans is the location of other utilities within the project site. Performing a thorough investigation will allow utility constraints to be identified during the alignment studies and may help avoid potential conflicts during construction, resulting in cost savings and time saved. Our team can provide utility design support services for the following:

CAD Design ServicesOur engineering staff is fully capable in Bentley, AutoCAD and Revit platforms and has experience working with various agency standards. We have experience in the use of drafting programs, including Autodesk’s Revit to develop detailed drawings and to produce construction documents as an aid in structural analysis and detailing for various structures. We can utilize Microstation/AutoCAD drafting and design production to develop engineering plans with plans and profiles, grading plans, mechanical and structural details, electrical, and P&IDs. Out capabilities also include Advanced 3D design modeling and 2D & 3D visualizations.

Permitting ServicesOur professionals understand the permitting process and level of coordination required to effectively complete design and construction projects. We bring a comprehensive and disciplined approach to identifying, tracking, managing and acquiring permits. Our services include preparation of permitting applications, detailed status monitoring, and direct coordination with each agency to ensure timely receipt of permits and other required project documentation. We bring a tremendous amount of experience in permit support efforts with major utility agencies, county agencies, federal agencies, regulatory agencies, and state agencies throughout California.

Grant Writing ServicesMany of the infrastructure agencies rely on some level of grants funding to fund design and construction of projects. Our understanding of the funding process has helped agencies obtain millions in grants and loans for project development and implementation. These programs include Proposition 50, Chapter 8; U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Title XVI; California Clean Water State Revolving Fund; Proposition 84; Proposition 1 Water Bond; Measure M; and others. We continue to seek upcoming opportunities in state and federal funding and can assist our clients by providing the following services:
